I finished the last parts for my lower shock mounts. Ithought about making a Mini brake for the press but ended up with this crazy contraption. It fits over the part I want to bend and works with a heavy vice.I was surprized at how well it worked.

Too hot to do any real work here so I installed the "Rouse Cool Air car ventilators" that I bought about thirty years ago and never used. Quoting from the box here, "Ventilates your car winter and summer. Eliminates drafts and circulates the air. Protects your eyes from dust when completely opened, directing the flow of fresh air downward, also gives you protection from cigarette ashes and burns". Now I'm wondering if I really needed the Vintage Air setup, LOL.

I also got my portawalls installed a few days back. I would have preferred 2 1/2 inch wide, but only came in 3 inch for 15 inch wheels.

Paint for final blocking. Wish I would have taken in easier on the bumpers and tailgate when it was my work truck!

Picked up a 700r4 to go with the cop car motor. It has less than 50,000 miles on it and has a shift kit and corvette servo.

I'm also really close to having the cab pulled. One man show so it gets slow sometimes as far as progress goes.

Cleaned and primed all the misc. hood metal. Wire wheeled what felt like a thousand bolts for bed, front clip and doors.
